Adding or Updating Your Searchable Counties

The county listing is part of the home inspector search engine provided by HomeGauge. When a customer or real estate professional searches for inspectors within a certain county from a state, all inspectors signed up for coverage in that specific county are listed. By default each inspector is set to cover the county associated with the zipcode listed in their contact information. There is no limit to the number of counties you may list as having coverage, but each county must be added or removed using this tool. The counties are organized by state and are selected by checkboxes in the next step.

Once logged in to your HomeGauge Dashboard, you should see a menu bar on the left side of the screen (on small screens you may need to click the menu button on the top right of the screen for it to appear.)
